Description

For sample adults, HOTDOGTP reports the time unit (day, week, month, or year) that corresponds with the frequency with which the respondent reported eating hot dogs. This includes half-smokes and sausages other than breakfast sausage. HOTDOGTP should be used in conjunction with HOTDOGNO, which reports the corresponding frequency stated by the respondent. For information about the portion size, see HOTDGNUM.

In 2010, the variable PROCMEATMNO was introduced, which reports how many times the respondent ate processed meats, such as bacon, lunch meat, or hot dogs.

HOTDOGTP is part of a series of variables initiated in 1987 related to food, food knowledge, and cancer. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.

Comparability

Prior to 2000, respondents were asked about foods they usually ate in the past year. Beginning in 2000, this recall period was reduced to foods the respondent usually ate in the past month. The structure of the responses (recording number of times a food was consumed and the time unit associated with that frequency) makes it possible to compare response categories even with different recall periods.

Beginning in 2000, the field representative's manual indicates that turkey and chicken hot dogs should not be included.

Changes in survey design (e.g., quarters in which the supplement was collected) may affect raw frequencies, but do not affect comparability of the variable. As always, data users should use the prescribed IHIS weights.
